POPSAnnular Solar Eclipse I don't have words for this..... I wrote what it says..... "An annular eclipse is basically a total eclipse with the moon too distant to fully cover the sun. This one occurred just before sunset in January 1992, from La Jolla, California"...

POPSEclipse Leaves Sky Gazers Over The Moon The colour of the Moon during an eclipse is not always the same, however. "It depends on the dust content of the Earth's atmosphere and perhaps the level of cloud," says Massey. "The red colour was certainly very intense and perhaps a little darker than I was expecting." Providing the local skies were clear, the deepest part of the eclipse was visible from all of Europe and Africa, and in Asia westward of central China. It was also visible in central and eastern North America and all of South America. Up to three lunar eclipses, including partial eclipses, can happen each year. The next total one will occur on 28 August 2007

POPSLunar Eclipse to Come Saturday It will take practically no effort to witness what promises to be a beautiful celestial event this weekend. Simply walk outside at sunset on Saturday and look to the east. Viewers in Europe, Africa, western Asia and part of Antarctica are in position to watch the entire eclipse. In the Americas, the eclipse will be underway by the time the moon rises, according to NASA scientists. The full eclipse ends at 6:57 p.m. EST. After that, the moon will slowly shed its reddish cloak and turn sparklingly bright — provided there are no Earthly clouds in the way to block the view.Parts of the eclipse, the first of two that will occur this year, will be visible on every continent, said Fred Espenak, with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
